Continuous transcription: August 19th 1851, privately. Daniel, son of William Callister and Ann Hudgin, of Balla-kibberagh, Lezayre; shoemaker. Baptised by Henry Hardy, Curate.

Notes on transcription

• The only substantial uncertainty is the residence, written across two lines as "Balla-kib / beragh", probably Ballakibberagh — the same place named as John Cowley's residence in the 1849 Quayle estate papers.
• Ann's surname is quite clearly written Hudgin, an especially useful additional variant alongside Hudgeon, Hodgson and Hutchinson.
• "Privately" may indicate the baptism was performed out of concern for a weak infant, rather than at the usual Sunday service — 19 August 1851 fell on a Tuesday.
